2025 Genesis GV80 Review | New Look Signals More Fun
With critical acclaim on its side, Genesis didn’t need to update its flagship SUV for the new model year. However, they have done so, and it means the 2025 Genesis GV80 is more fun, more spacious, and even more good looking.
Here’s what you should know about the new model year. 2025 models are due in showrooms in spring 2024.
Designer Good Looks
2025 Genesis GV80 designers took everything good and made it better. The front grille, which resembles the Genesis logo, has been made a little more aggressive. Side air inlets are reshaped. Headlights are given a double-line treatment. Their light signature is generated by special MLA LEDs.
There are plenty of curves to balance the sharper angles. There’s a bit of deception in the way the midsize SUV has been crafted to seem less imposing than it really should be.
Adventure-minded shoppers may want to take note of the new, wider skid plate that is front and center. You can get started on a Genesis purchase. Apply for one of our competitive loans and leases by clicking here.
Expanded Interior
Interior designers used their bag of tricks to expand the front row. Compared to the 2024 Genesis GV80, the dash is pushed forward. Both seats are seriously plush, and the multi-adjustable seats are offered with favorites such as power-cooling and power-massage.
Genesis took this opportunity to bring its top tech toys into the cabin. The cockpit boasts 27 inches of screens. Digital gauges are behind the steering wheel. The touchscreen, which has a click wheel controller at the driver’s right hand, is easy to see and use.
From subtle to bright color contrast, the interiors offer bespoke leathers. Textured patterns provide a different type of contrast with the smoother surfaces. A little crystal sphere acts as the shift lever knob. Soft-touch leather makes the dash, console, and door panels soft to the touch.
Second rows offer excellent legroom and headroom. An available entertainment screen adds fun to the backseat. An available third row turns this large midsize into a 3 row SUV.
Performance and Handling
For 2025, the Genesis GV80 powertrains are fast and faster twin turbos. The inline four turbo engine delivers a potent 300 horsepower.
A top performance choice is the twin turbo V6. It spits out a solid 375 horsepower for competitive driving fun.
All GV80s have the Genesis all wheel drivetrain. This not only guarantees safer travel, but it means that the SUV can hug corners and curves with greater skill.
For the most luxurious ride quality, the adaptive suspension uses Road Preview. This watches the road ahead to prepare the system for upcoming bumps or pits.
Award-Winning Legacy
The GV80 isn’t very old, but it already has an award-winning legacy. At Kelley Blue Book, they have declared the Genesis midsize SUV to be their favorite in its class. Now they have commented on the 2025 edition, saying it is classy inside and out. They call it a great value.
This model has consistently earned the Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Award. The 2024 Genesis GV80 earned a Car and Driver Editors Choice award. Already the magazine is giving the 2025 edition a remarkable 10 out of 10.
They praise its attention capturing design and its marvelously sweet starting price. Indeed, if you tried to buy something similar -- say a Porsche Cayenne or BMW X5 -- you’d be paying quite a bit more.

Critical Rankings and Ownership Considerations
The 2024 Genesis GV80 earned the Editors Choice award in its segment at Car and Driver. In fact, all Genesis models are on that list at the top of their segment. This winning nature indicates that the brand is making the benchmarks that luxury drivers have come to expect.
Furthermore, the Genesis brand has earned top marks in dependability, tech experience, and initial quality at JD Power.
Plus, like all models by this brand, the new Genesis GV80 has the most exciting warranties to match its luxuries. Most luxury brands end the limited warranty at 3 or 4 years while Genesis maintains it up to 5 years or 60,000 miles.
Even more important, while luxury powertrain warranties tend to end by 4, 5 or 6 years at most, the powertrain is covered for 10 years and 100,000 miles. Since this warranty is transferable, this coverage will have a positive impact on resale values.
